<div>Hello! My name is Sama, I am 21 years old and I attend UC Davis. I have been severely ill for over a year now, living with <strong>stomach paralysis, organ failure, dependence on nutritional life support, </strong>and several other conditions that cause<strong> extreme, intolerable full body pain. </strong>The consequences of severe malnutrition caused by stomach paralysis were <strong>catastrophic, </strong>damaging multiple organs and causing irreparable harm.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Recently my health has significantly deteriorated,</strong> leaving me with little to no quality of life. I face neuroimmune deterioration which has left me 100% bedridden. <strong>I am unable to move, speak, tolerate light, sound, or human touch. I lay here fully immobilized in indescribable full body pain 24 hours a day</strong>, that not even the strongest of painkillers relieve. Along with this I suffer from other daily symptoms such as intractable vomiting, dizziness, chronic migraines, vertigo. cognitive dysfunction, memory loss, temperature dysregulation, heart palpitations, and countless more. <strong>My pain and other symptoms get worse by the day.</strong> I lay trapped in this dark room and decaying body, hopeful for a procedure that could change everything.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>There is a procedure that can end this suffering (described below)</strong>  I have exhausted all my other treatment options up to now, with <strong>this procedure being my final option</strong>. I am extremely hopeful for the relief that this would bring and hopeful that you can help me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>MAID also known as Medical Assistance in Dying is a voluntary choice a patient makes to end their life as a means to end suffering and pain that has not responded to treatments. </strong>This is lawfully preformed in a medical setting after being approved by many doctors and specialists as the best solution. By exercising my right of autonomy, I hope to pass with dignity and peace, no longer suffering every second of every day. This decision was not made lightly, considering the level of suffering and pain I continue to endure as it worsens alongside no more treatment options. <strong>My family, friends, and medical team support my decision. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The funds would not be used to pay directly for the procedure itself, but rather its associated costs such as family prescence, traveling, lodging, adminstrative fees, caregiving, and end-of-life arrangements
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story. If you are unable to donate even keeping me in your thoughts means the world to me &lt;3 Sharing my campaign is also extremely helpful. I remain hopeful that with your help I can receive this procedure and no longer suffer so severely.
